“To make matters worse, most of the damage was self-inflicted. Trying to drum up global support for the Cop26 summit by reminding everyone he had written several articles 20 years ago that had been sceptical of climate change wasn't the brightest idea he had ever had. It just made him look like the untrustworthy chancer most people thought him to be. Nor did his excuse that when the facts changed he changed, help greatly. No one could remember the facts about climate science having changed that much over the last two decades.”

“Taiwan's international response facilitated cooperation and implementation of an effective sterile travel corridor between Taiwan and Palau. We encourage the UN system to accept Taiwan as a valuable contributor to our collective efforts and strongly advocate for Taiwan's participation in the UN system... The surgeonfish represents a unique characteristic. They fish to graze and roam on the reef alone, eating algae, but once danger lurks, they all swim quickly from wherever they are along the reef and come together in a large school, resembling an intimidating ocean animal to provide safety and security for all. [The international community should] act like the surgeonfish and come together, including Taiwan. Taiwan's 23.5 million people must also be given a voice as our UN Charter states. We the peoples of all nations working together can overcome the challenges of our time, from COVID to climate, and act with integrity and resolve to leave a better world for our children.”

“Even if this election hadn't happened, he's been prime minister for six years - and there's only so long you can be in power before voter fatigue sets in. If he's willing to work with Singh, he can be prime minister who delivers a national childcare program, and be the one who delivers a real plan in place on climate change - something that has the support of multiple parties. If he wants it, there's a real opportunity here for Trudeau. It's a chance for him to cement a legacy.”

“Unfortunately, today we only have confrontation. We need to re-establish a functional relationship between the two powers. [The relations is] essential to address the problems of vaccination, the problems of climate change and many other global challenges that cannot be solved without constructive relations within the international community and mainly among the superpowers. We need to avoid at all cost a cold war that would be different from the past one, and probably more dangerous and more difficult to manage.”

“Chinese leaders have long said they are engaged in climate action not because of outside pressure, but because it benefits China and the world-at-large. If that is so, then US-China tensions should not slow Chinese climate action.”

“Carbon neutrality is a trend that cannot be avoided to limit global warming and it has become the top-tier energy policy around the world now. We have to review the nuclear phase-out policy from the perspective of carbon neutrality, and in the case of Korea, nuclear energy is indispensable as a way to achieve net zero. It is meaningless to attack the current government for advocating the nuclear phase-out policy. Instead, we should focus on how to restructure Korea's energy mix to reduce carbon emissions. Climate change seriously threatens biodiversity - a 1.5-degree Celsius rise in average temperature may put some 30 percent of species at risk of extinction. The scale of danger cannot be compared to nuclear accidents. Over 180 countries do not gather together to discuss the danger of nuclear energy, but they do for climate agreement. I am not saying no to a nuclear phase-out, but the fight against climate change and carbon neutrality is the bigger subject on the agenda of energy policy. If we can reach net zero without nuclear energy, it would be great. However, it is virtually impossible without an astronomical amount of money.”

“The combination of the Moon's gravitational pull, rising sea levels, and climate change will continue to exacerbate coastal flooding on our coastlines and across the world.

“In the earlier days of COVID, India was there for the United States - something we will never forget. And now we want to make sure that we're there for India as well. We're united in confronting COVID-19 together. We're united in dealing with the challenge posed by climate change, and we are partnered together directly through the Quad (a group that includes the United States, India, Japan and Australia), other institutions in the United Nations, in dealing with many of the challenges we face in the region and around the world.”

We’ll listen to and engage closely with the activists, including young people, who have continued to sound the alarm and demand change from those in power.”

“[People] will ask ‘Have we done enough to put the world on track to limit warming to 1.5C and protect people and nature from the effects of climate change?’ We must be honest with ourselves – the answer to that is currently no. The choices we make in the year ahead will determine whether we unleash a tidal wave of climate catastrophe on generations to come.”

“The Biden administration may also employ more competitive rhetoric when approaching its climate engagement with China. First, China and the US need to embrace much stronger climate ambitions than they currently do. Second, climate change is still one of the rare areas where the political interests of China and the US perfectly align. With changing geopolitics, a somewhat positive climate dynamic between the two cannot be simply assumed, but should be painstakingly earned.”
